违约责任(liability for default and breach)条款
违约责任条款主要规定了当事人违约的条件,以及另一方当事人因其违约而能够获得取的权利。该条款一般会对合同的违约事件范围(what are the events of default?)、违约的补救期(the period to cure defaults)及违约的后果(What are the consequences of a default?)等事项进行规定。例如:
1.供货协议由于甲方违反本协议或未履行本协议而未得以订立或生效的,甲方应当承担所有的义务和责任,并赔偿乙方遭受的费用与损失。(Party A takes all responsibilities and liabilities and indemnifies Party B expenses and costs if the Supply Agreement cannot be duly concluded or come into effect due to Party A,s breach of this Agreement or failure in duly performing this Agreement.)
2.In addition to the Expenses and Loss under the above Article 7, if Party A breaches this Agreement,they shall pay Party B liquidated damages equal to 30% of the amount of Expense and Loss.(除上述第7条规定的费用及损失外,如果甲方违反本协议,甲方应向乙方支付上述“费用及损失”的百分之三十,作为违约赔偿金。)
3.The Buyer must give seller written notice of any claim within 30 days after arrival of goods at port of destination. Unless such notice,accompanied by proof certified by an authorized surveyor arrives at the seller's office during such 30 days’ period, the Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any claim.(买方应在货到目的港30天内向卖方提交索赔通知。卖方在此期间如未接到买方索赔通知及公证行开立的公证报告的,视为买方放弃索赔。)
